Wow, I'd say the male is also a pearl as he has not lost all of them.

Wonder what @Monica would say?

Cute chicks, I wish you well? Are the male & female related? Not sure about the genetics of the lutino or albino. Would guess albino was recessive & if its not sex linked both parents would need to be split to it.

Help @Monica

The parents do appear to be whiteface pearls. If you had any tail feathers from the male, that would be an easy way to confirm it. Pearl males have mottling at the base of the tail feathers.


Even if you purchased the parents at separate times, if you bought them from the same place they could still be related.


The red eye chick could be either Ino or fallow. If Ino, then the chick is a female and dad is split for Ino. If fallow, then both parents are split and chick could be male or female. Most chicks with red eyes tend to be Inos though. Would not be surprised if chick is also cinnamon.
